The Death Eaters of Harry Potter are the bad guys — that much is pretty objective. Followers of Lord Voldemort, they operate on the premise than anyone of “lesser” blood than them is bad, that they must be destroyed, and that they’re better for having more witches and wizards in their family than most. Operating on such ideologies, they do some truly awful things (including but not limited to, torture and murder)....
As with most adaptations from page to screen, the famous eight-movie Harry Potter series misses out on some fan-favorite moments from the books. Though this is an unfortunate reality, it happens with so many movies adapted from books because to write a verbatim interpretation of the book would produce a movie that lasts far too long for audiences. Though writers are now creating miniseries or television adaptations to avoid this problem, sadly, Harry Potter had no such luck....
Gilmore Girls follows the sweet yet hectic story of Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) Gilmore, a mother-daughter duo living in rural Stars Hollow just trying to navigate life through its blessings and obstacles alike. Having coined expressions like “Oy with the poodles already!” and giving us characters that seem straight out of a Fellini film, audiences everywhere fell in love with the early 2000s dramedy. While there was certainly a fair share of fun moments on the show, there were also several serious ones....
Here’s how Girls season 6 wrapped up the series. Girls was created by Lena Dunham, who also plays lead character Hannah Horvath, an immature and self-absorbed writer. The show follows Hannah and her friends Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna as they navigate life and love in New York City. The show was a drama laced with pitch-black comedy and it wasn’t afraid to make all the lead characters unlikeable or selfish....
The Golden Girls gave us many gifts. The catchy theme song, feisty Sophia, and a new respect for senior women’s issues are just a few. The show may be off the air but that hasn’t stopped new generations from becoming fans and carrying these gifts in their hearts. Perhaps the greatest of these is the delightful cast. People of all ages have come to love the quirky show and the women who star in it....

Halloween Kills, a 2020 sequel to 2018’s Halloween reboot, casts Anthony Michael Hall as an adult Tommy Doyle, a role previously played by Paul Rudd. It’s been a long, crazy road for the Halloween franchise, as the venerable horror property heads into its twelfth and thirteenth installments. Few would argue that any of the follow-ups have come close to director John Carpenter’s original 1978 masterpiece, but regardless, horror devotees worldwide still love to see Michael Myers return to slash more and more victims....
Halt And Catch Fire’s freshman season was decent but its season 2 soft reboot helped make it a show really worth watching. Created by Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers, Halt And Catch Fire chronicled the rise of consumer tech and aired for four seasons on AMC. In its first season, the show mostly focused on entrepreneur and salesman Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) and engineer Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy) as they tried to build a personal computer to rival IBM’s in Texas’ Silicon Prairie in the early 1980s....

In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, it’s not just witches and wizards that captured the imagination of the fans - it’s all the magical creatures that Rowling created to populate this world, too. From huge mythical beasts like dragons to the adorable and pocket sized nifflers, these magical critters have inspired legions of fans to dream of having their own owls and magical half-cats. But while we love these creatures, Rowling’s books, Pottermore posts, and films have left fans with a few pressing questions about how the wizarding world deals with pets, threats, and more....

After years of being friends, and often having a bit of a contentious relationship, they begin their relationship in the final book and go on to get married and have kids. While many people love these two together, others feel like they weren’t a great match. Even J.K. Rowling has mentioned that Ron and Hermione might not have been the most sensible couple....

When Sirius finally escapes in The Prisoner of Azkaban he does his best to make up for lost time. He tries to be the father figure Harry desperately wants and needs. Whether he succeeds is another matter. There’s no doubt Sirius loved Harry....
Of all of the characters from the Harry Potter series (and there are many), Severus Snape might be the most controversial. He is a character that is rather polarizing. Some fans absolutely love his character arc and think that he was a good person deep down while other people think he’s at his core a bad person who didn’t deserve to be seen as a hero. Whether you love Snape or hate him, there’s no denying that he’s done some pretty shameless things....
Harry Potter forever changed the world in a literary and cinematic scope. Joanne Rowling, typically called J.K. Rowling, finished her book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 1995. It wasn’t until October 1996, after several rejections, that Bloomsbury Press accepted to publish her book. While it was a success in the UK, the book broke several records after Scholastic Books bought the rights to have the series released in the US....

Some fans may disagree, but others will see the untruth hidden within their relationship....
The Verge snapped together the chart below illustrating the feature set of the Chromecast dongle as compared to the Apple TV’s Airplay functionality. In reality, we are looking at two different ways of looking at place-shifting content. Apple’s is directly from an iOS device or a recent Mac’s display. The Chromecast is sending instructions to the dongle to start playing content from the cloud (meaning you need a pretty healthy Internet connection)....
Marketing a big studio tentpole can be a tricky proposition, as trailers attempt to sell the movie to die hard fans and casual viewers while preserving its secrets. These days, it’s become common for theatrical previews to include spoilers, unfortunately diminishing the impact of seeing the final product on-screen for the first time. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is employing a different strategy. Its advertising materials are based more around the cast of characters than the actual plot, and the trailers are using alternate takes of jokes to keep as much under lock and key as possible....
